Setting the right editor & editor support

Use $EDITOR environment variable to set the editor that should be opened. E.g. you can add export EDITOR=vim line to your .bashrc or .zshrc to set the editor to vim.

If no editor is set, the defaults are vi for POSIX platforms and notepad for Windows.

The plugin tries to be cleaver about the options given to the detected editor. If something is not working properly for you, don't hesitate to open an issue.

I have not tested 90% of the editor support - there are at least 3 platforms with tens of different editors. I use Linux and NeoVim. If you use anything else, your results may vary. Issues & PRs welcome.
